Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Suzanne Mills
Sam Taylor
Ally Ryan (returning champion)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750, and here's our first puzzle.
Here's a Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
Introducing a BONUS for the rest of us! Actually, Suzanne might also like to win a Telstra Freedom 480 cordless phone.
The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.
We need to start our next round now!
Here's another Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The top-dollar value is now 2,500!
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
Ally: S (640)
Suzanne: R (x2) (640)
Sam: T (DUD!)
Ally: H (1,280)
Sam made it exciting, but a wrong letter caught him. He and Suzanne take home a Baron & Baroness leather goods collection and Parker pens as a consolation prize.
BONUS ROUND:
Ally couldn't get the last major prize, but she could do it this time, and she might win one of these prizes:
Gateway 5300 notebook computer ($3,699)
Phuket and Bangkok holiday ($13,136)
Daewoo Tacuma ($23,990)
We add 3,330 to Ally's previous 3,690 for 7,020, giving her five consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
Daewoo Tacuma!
Can she solve this one-liner?
TRNSP, and O fill in half the puzzle.

Ally would love the jewellery.

A little late for Suzanne. Rob will give the Wheel a spin, and consonants are worth... BANKRUPT!
And someone shouted "Good spin!" before that. Rob will now think about that when he spins, and consonants are worth... Lose A Turn!
Rob's thinking too much. Just give it one more spin, and consonants are worth 640.

Ally solves GEOFFREY RUSH before the H even lights up!
That quick solve makes up for everything before that. Ally now deserves the choice of a 5-night Gold Coast holiday, a Paritech stock market software pack, or a cookware collection.
Ally wants the holiday.
